This week has just flown by with changes and meeting so many new people and getting to know the area! plus they took the elders out of our area and so now we have two! Plus we had to move houses this week and we moved into the elders house which meant a ton of cleaning haha but thankfully this house has air conditioning in the bedroom, blessings!
So first my companionl, hermana cowger! she has 10 months on the mission and shes from Melba Idaho and she is so sweet! we had some fun bonding experiences this week because she got lice from one of the families that we visit, the little kids always want to touch her hair because its really long and really blonde and everyone loves it! haha so we had fun putting the lice treatment in each others hair, I had to do it too because you know, we are together 24 7 haha
anyways Isla Bogado, its a lot nicer than my other area! people have like real houses, like big enough we can go in and sit down and have a lesson and some of the members have cars too! this area is like a lot more jungly i guess haha I dont know how to explain it but its a lot more humid and theres a lot more trees and everyone around here has flower nurseries and sells flowers! i love it!
my first night there we went over to the familia benitezs house because it was the dad, modestos birthday and we had a birthday dinner with the bishop and his family and another family their too. modesto just got baptized the sunday before i got there and now their whole family are members of the church and getting ready to go be sealed in the temple!
The ward here is awesome too! its bigger than my old ward and all the members are super willing to help with the missionary work. Hermana Perez is the young womens president and we live about two blocks away from her but she is the most loving lady ive ever met and right now shes making skirts for the young women in our ward so they have a skirt to wear to church. also her and her husband drive their truck to church and put about 20 people in the back of it each sunday so they can get to church too, I think our ward attendance has been going up since they started doing this haha
but anyways, Im so excited to be here! me and hermana cowger are ready to work hard! we have these 3 sisters that are so ready to get baptized, we are going to be working a lot with them! their 15 12 and 10 and they live with their dad because their mom abandoned them, but hna perez came with us to a lesson with them last night and she told them shes going to be their mama because shes the mama for all the young women and they just teared up and it broke my heart!
im so thankful for the church, we have such a support system behind us with our leaders and our ward, this truly is the lords kingdom in the earth. I will probably have more stories for you all next week! love you all so much! rohayhu!
con mucho amor
hermana meese
